Being F1 fan since 1988, somehow I missed this video! That what's good reaction videos are for :) Few bits of info as a a bonus: 1) similar spec racing is there too, called F3 and F2, where upcoming F1 drivers are being "prepared" and "chosen". Funny example, UK/German team Mercedes got Italian prospect in F2, while Italian Ferrari got a young German driver signed (for American team with Italian motor - Haas). 2) It takes a good driver, good car engineers and a good engine - to have a winning formula. Sometimes good drivers in a runner up team can do miracles too. Guys like Alonso or Hulkenberg in Haas (American team).

[@unotoli]

And a few fun facts, if you missed them: shortest pitstop (time between car becomes stationary till it moves again) - 1.8 sec(yes, clap twise). Donno current times with electric + turbo motors era, but ~20 years ago, Bridgestone tyres had this ad: 0-200km/h (120mph) 5sec 0-160-0km/h (0-100-0mph)- 4sec ;)

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Let's put it this way: Indycar depends on the driver's skill, so in terms of technology, it's a level playing field. All the team needs are a good driver and a good strategist. Formula 1 combines the driver's skill AND the technological know-how of making cars go fast and how to put the driver's skill on the ground AND the strategy of minimizing lap times and pit stop times.

In October of 2020, Honda announced its plans to pull out of F1 by the end of 2021, later deciding to stay on as a paid contributor for Red Bull until the end of 2025. This is why Red Bull decided to go ahead and make its own engine. The Honda CEO at the time of deciding to pull out of F1, had done so because Honda was spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year in F1 (before the cost cap), resources the CEO thought were better spent on EV development etc. That CEO shortly after passed away, and the new CEO reversed course, hence why Honda will develop for Aston Martin in 2026 and beyond.

At some point it just going to look silly and indecisive or at least very cynically calculating and neither interpretation improves your reputation.

One thing always overlooked is driver's training, they're athletes, races take around 2h to complete, their heart rate is 160-170bpm throughout the entire race, they loose 8-10 pounds each race in sweat, the cockpit is 50-60°C (120-140°F) during the race, 5g of lateral force while cornering, and so on...

[@markjones127]

On rare occasions you'll get a team stumbling on a bit of a loophole and designing a car which just destroys everyone other team, you'll get the big teams complaining and trying to sue everyone and the regulatory body scratching their heads trying to work out if they're breaking any rules or not, then if the new design is deemed legal there's a race for everyone to copy them to try and catch up, this happened with Brawn GP in 2009 with their rear diffuser design, basically they bought out the existing Honda team who had been working on their new car design for longer than normal because their previous car was so bad, and when Brawn GP swapped the Honda engine for a Mercedes unit the car turned into a beast, the team only existed for 1 year but they won the drivers championship with Jensen Button, after which they were bought by Mercedes to become the team which went on to be dominant for years with Lewis Hamilton.

[@TheSwede9]

I have to deduct a point from the reaction video for the joke about Max always being surprised and having heart palpitations at the rollercoaster feeling, and attributing it to the Red Bull he's drinking. But then again the Swedish judges still give a 10/10 for you guys checking this out

"Can I touch it?" Well, at Grand Prix it is highly forbidden to touch the cars. The opponements would love to touch the cars of the competitive drivers (how stiff are the wings etc.). And to see the floor. Not allowed. But as fans to see the cars from a short distance is already impressive.

[@cuff02]

11:21 - One thing they didn't mention about the DRS (drag reduction system) is that it's only available for the driver to use on certain parts of the track and also if they are within 1 second of the driver infront. They can use it in qualifying though.

Red Bull has a collaboration with Honda...they built engines together. But it definitely costs a lot of money...but them winning is a win for Honda as well. Other engine builders are Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault etc...and they have several teams tied to them, they buy (usually older) engines. So their succes is also linked.

[@Calvin1911]

They kind of breezed through the steering wheel but in each lap, a driver can mess with switches up to 20 times a lap. Each corner and straight has different settings for optimum performance while they’re battling another racer doing the same.

23:00 You notice the red bull can is NOT open with max, great video and reaction

[@FrowningIke]

13:14 Apologies if it is said later but "mini tornadoes" does not explain ground effect. It's essentially a vacuum. Air is channelled into a small area below the car at the front. Then a larger space opens up at the rear so that air simply thins out sucking the rear of the vehicle to the ground. Simple physics, applied with genius minds.

[@Dusto9]

I'd like to add that the car doesn't actually get sucked to the ground by the diffusor and other ground effects devices, it's pushed down by the weight of the air above the car. Normally the air underneath a car basically resists or opposes the downward force of the weight of the air above the car. A diffusor creates a low pressure area underneath the car, thus reducing that opposing force that is holding the car up from underneath, and by doing so the effect of the air pressure above the car is increased.

[@FrowningIke]

@@Dusto9 The wings on top of the car do "push it down" as you say. It's more complex than that but I'll go with your terminology. Ground effect is different and is achieved by doing precisely what I said above. They work in tandem. Read about the GMA T50 and the Aston Martin Valkyrie. The T50 has no wings and the Valkyrie has small one. The T50's ground effect is enhanced by the fan which creates more suction and yes, it is being sucked to the ground. The Valkyrie does not have the fan but the underside is an extreme example of the principle I talked about originally. Research the Bernoulli and Venturi effect or simply ground effect to help you to understand it.

[@Dusto9]

​@@FrowningIke I'm not talking about wings. Ground effect does not suck the car down, that's a common misconception caused by oversimplified explanations of it. The "sucking" part in ground effect is often wrongly explained as if it's sucking the car down, but it is instead sucking the air out from underneath the car in order to create a low pressure zone. Either by fan or exhaust assisted systems or by geometry like diffusors. The downforce in ground effect comes from the weight of the column of air above the car all the way to the edge of space, atmospheric pressure. By creating a low pressure zone underneath the car the atmospheric pressure above and surrounding the car wants to push the car down into the low pressure zone beneath it. Remember that a low pressure zone doesn't suck, it's still a pressure zone with a force pushing outwards in all directions including up against the bottom of the car. It doesn't suck the car down, it just pushes less hard on the bottom of the car than the higher atmospheric pressure pushes on the top of the car. Even in a fan assisted car like the T50, the fan does not suck the car down, it just sucks the air out from underneath the car so atmospheric pressure can do the rest.

[@FrowningIke]

@@Dusto9 You are simply wrong. Air goes underneath the car from the front obviously where it is very low to the ground. Then it reaches a larger area at the rear so the air spreads out creating a partial vacuum. Just look it up instead of winging it. Pun intended.

[@FrowningIke]

@@Dusto9 A copy/paste about the T50. Note the word "suction" As the T.50 makes use of very aggressive and steep angled rear diffusers, this in turn creates substantial turbulent or semi-stalled air passing over the diffuser when the T.50 has its fan inactive. By utilising the integrated aerodynamic fan, the T.50 can suck the air under the car at a 90-degree angle and provide a significant increase in overall downforce as it provides a laminar flow of air passing over the rear diffuser, thus, creating a greater level of suction in tandem with the Venturi effect, created underneath the car, ahead of the steep rear diffusers.

17:30 there may be clauses in the contract between tea and engine supplier, like that...but they are usually agreed to pay a certain amount over a certain amount of season, wins ad trophies likely trigger bonus clauses, but then there is also a lot of prestige for making the top teams engines, so in some cases it may even be the engine manufacturer paying the team to use their engine (this is somewhat a guess, so if someone with more knowledge of that side of tings contradicts that I'm fine with that)

Seeing as Mike is also interested in the human aspect: Max Verstappen is a pretty interesting character to delve into. As you could see his father was also an F1 driver, but only succeeded in ever getting 2 podiums. His father has become a pretty controversial character within F1 because of how tough he was on his son Max growing up (leaving him at a gas station in Italy for example after a bad race when Max was 14). Max started karting at only 4 years old and became F1's youngest driver ever at 17 years old. Which was a big controversy at the time and even forced F1 to change its rules to say that drivers have to be 18 years minimum. Max immediately proved how talented he was though and became the youngest F1 race winner ever at 18 years old on his mid season debut with Red Bull. The past 3 years he's been smashing nearly every record in the book and now has 3 World Championships / 59 race wins / 104 podiums and is now considered to be one of the greatest ever at 26 years old. He'e also pretty much the most blunt (Dutch roots...), honest guy on the grid, which makes him fun to listen to. In a nutshell ;)

I started rebuilding car engines when I was 14 (1975), so the basics are old news to me, but I have to admit that I've been left behind by the amount of electronics that go into a car these days. No more 50/50 chance of the car starting in cold weather, just turn the key and it starts, and more power and efficiency from smaller engines.

Nice to see folks being intrested in F1. As F1 fan the video is … cute 😅

[@MikkoRantalainen]

17:20 I think the licensing is the other way around in the F1 world because successful cars are good advertising for the engine manufacturer. If you win many enough races, the engine manufacturer will give you engines for nearly free as long as their logo is visible enough on the car. On the other hand, if your team is rarely seen in TV during the races because you are typically running in positions somewhere between 13 and 18 and getting zero points for every race, you pay full price for the engines you use because you're just a consumer from the viewpoint of the engine manufacturer. The reason Red Bull is making their own engines is ability to make changes that are perfectly tuned to their needs. When you purchase an engine from another manufacturer, you can ask for features but it's up to the manufacturer to decide if you actually get those features or not. Basically features that are too costly for the manufacturer and the only user base would be the racing team end up getting scrapped.

[@_Mutineer]

I've been watching F1 for my whole life, I'm now a Senior and still absolutely love it. The big thing for me is the world-class engineering that goes into the cars, after Tesla and SpaceX, all the engineering types want to work for an F1 team.. I know I did in University.. But one thing that Cleo did not get around to mentioning, before the cost-cap came in 3 years ago, the top teams (Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull) were spending well north or $350 Million a year to put 2 cars on the track. Now they are limited to (only) $135 million per year excluding Drivers salaries (Max and Lewis make about 20+ million a year in salary alone, not counting endorsements). I'm so happy that the world is finally waking up to how awesome F1 is, I am finally having discussions with folk about it, when before Drive To Survive, folk would look befuddled if I even mentioned it, and thanks to you two for doing your bit to spread the word..

[@MoSkent1]

These F1s are masterpieces that could be exhibited in Museums, but where has the heart of these cars gone : their ENGINES ?!? Now and for 11 years, these F1s may crush the lap times of those of the past, the main thing is missing, namely the sublime sound of the V12s, but ESPECIALLY the V10s that screamed to tear your eardrums while turning at more than 20,000 rpm !!! And if the V8s that followed from 2006 to 2013 already had nothing to do with the terrifying V10s, now these turbo-compressed V6s have ridiculous sounds next to them, even if engineers have improved it since the pitiful years of 2013/14. We're far from Spa-Francorchamps 1997 or 2005 ! I'll NEVER forget the starts of these races when we were in Blanchimont, almost on the other side of the valley without seeing the pack that was rushing into le climb of Eau Rouge ! The air was torn by the INSANE HOWL of the V10s from miles around, and we, hilarious and incredulous, couldn't believe our ears while waiting for their arrival ! Each time these monsters passed, you had to cover your ears because the sound was so CRAZY. It even made your body vibrate. Only a Rock concert has given me such a feeling of beastly power. (Since then I've never saw F1 again, unlike motorcycle racing which has never been so fantastic and exciting, the motorcycles so fabulous and the way of leaning while touching shoulders so improbable to see...)

Not sure if this is mentioned the difference in winning the constructors and coming say 3rd can have huge impacts in the factory. For example a lot of the RB factory were frustrated with Perez performances because their bonus per person will only be around $6500-$12000 (converted to dollars) inetead of over double that if they won the constructors

As far as I know only Ferrari and Mercedes make their own engines...and they have 100+ years of motorsport history.. including making engines for motorsport. Red Bull,....make energy drinks. So its very very very brave of Red Bull to do this, but also potentially stupid, only time will tell. For example, Mclaren, and Williams have both been in F1 for a very very long time(3 to 4 times as long as Red Bull), and both have had huge success in the past, but they have always used engines made and developed by big Car companies (Honda, Renault, Ford, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW etc) They have never made their own engines...and Mclaren actually make high end Super cars, so potentially have the experience to take the next step into F1/Le Man car engines....but they have not yet. Eve teams like Lotus, Jaguar and Aston MArtin, have not made their own engines for literally over 60 years, and they are companies that make engines...every day, in some cases they even make Le Mans car engines. Hopefully that puts into perspective, despite the money Red Bull have, just how brave it is to make their own engines, and given they actually have 0 experience of ANY engines making, its kind of mad. To the point where Redbull are so good , it could potentially set them back 5-10 years and push them bellow Mclaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, WIlliams, etc and that's if it goes well, if it goes badly they could end up destroying all the progress they have made until now. If they remain in the top 2 challenging for titles, then its gone beyond well, and is close to being a miracle

In that warehouse there's around 20-24 cars. These are probably worth approx $12-$15 million each.

What is the song in the beginning of the video? 😊

even though making the best car is a huge part of f1, you can't win without the best drivers, and the best drivers usually find their way into the best teams

[@user-vm3os4wl1d]

also your engine can cold start f1s usally needs to be warm otherwise it wont start because of very small the tolerance in the cylinder. (ps the redbulls might be water, so that the driver doesn't drink another brand.) at the pitstop you could also see the heat blanket that heats the knew tires. and as a dane i want, a lego f1 team.

[@roca7108]

It's not like every team in f1 gets to build their cars however they want within the budget; they all have to comply with a very strict set of rules and regulations ( hence the 'formula' name in the sport). This set of rules change year after year, some years it can be just small variations of the rules, but there are years in which they change almost everything in a very drastic manner, changes can go from length, width, ride height, all the way to engine size, tires, and all sort of tech stuff.

8:53 I think they should have highlighted just the rows by Max Verstappen because the performance difference between Max and Sergio is ridiculous. Sergio win two races, Carloz Sainz of Ferrari won 1 and Max won every other race for the whole season! I'm not a fan of Max driving borderline illegal moves in races but I have to agree that his performance is on totally different level compared to everybody else.

several good videos with same title "This is Formula One" , worth watching..

[@user-lo7es6gw1x]

If you watch the monaco gp race last weekend you will see how strong the cars are

[@RaymondvanGelderen]

NASA on wheels. That’s Formula one. And that’s why I love it since the first race I saw them with my grandpa in 1978. We where fans! I wish he could saw a Dutchman win the championship 3 times. Umph. I miss him.

It is only one wheel nut per wheel. I believe they use to use helium to provide air to the wheel gun, as the wheel gun spun faster.

The f1 v10 v12 and v8 sound of the 90s and 2000 era where the best

[@tonic8945]

The reason RB are so successful is because they have Adrian Newey designing their cars.

[@Dogsbody6162]

As technology has evolved, which is impressive, F1 has become more about the car and less about the driver. This is a shame. Watch an in-car video of Ayrton Senna driving at Monaco back in the 80’s. The turbo engines back then produced in excess of 1,200 hp and still had a manual gearbox. One hand on the wheel through the streets of Monaco. Insane!

[@lonwabiso1]

The sport is the number 1 formula to racing / cars. The rules are the same but each team's try to achieve the no 1 formula within those rules...which then leads to a team dominating because they have a different understanding of the rules EG. The first team to find the 'ground effect' was back in 70s and what was deemed to far outside the rules but due to wanting the cars to more Racey with more overtaking the F1 body has reintroduced it

[@MikkoTikkanen]

Do remember though that F1 does not exclude skill out of the game, the rules, and the lack of in some areas, make it so that the cars are sufficiently close to each other as they are at the apex of performance. So the driver is just one part of the success, it is a team sport. And yet, what the drivers have to do and are capable of is just insane, 5-6G's every few seconds for 2 hours straight, racing just few centimeters apart from each other in open cockpit rockets, going close to 400kmh without losing your concentration even for a split second, adjusting the car to your needs after every corner if needed, constantly driving at the razors edge - If you are fully in control you are going too slow. When non-F1 people get to drive one of those cars they peter out in minutes and in just few laps on an empty track. The Inhouse parts are because of competition. There are only certain amount of manufacturers for certain parts, such as engines, meaning your competition who is using the same engine is also gaining from anything you propose to the manufacturer. Now, if you take it all inhouse, you get to do whatever you want without having to give up the secrets. Albeit with a huge cost.
